This is a tenant forum and a public record for 114 East 1st Street in New York City. The building is now managed by Robert Spitalnick, Birchwood Properties LLC, 98 CUTTERMILL RD # 263S, Great Neck, NY 11021, who took over in 2011 from Vanderleigh Properties. At least one other Vanderleigh property has been "transferred" to Birchwood Properties. The property is maintained by Verson Building Services.

Further decline of the building

The hallway has not been cleaned in weeks. Cobwebs are growing on the staircase and the entire building smells like excrement. The front door look rarely works. The management is renovating some apartments while we are living in a dump. We should act together before living here becomes unbearable.

I heard today that if we have a group of ten tenants with similar complaints we can have a city manager assigned for the building. That would help a lot. Does anyone know more about it?

Below are a couple of images of the decaying basement door entrance of the building where the garbage is being stored. It is dangerous to step on it so avoid it!
